Chapter 2 Taming the beast
Chapter 2 Taming the Beast
As soon as the school bell rang, Chen Xing hurriedly left the school with her schoolbag on her back.
Qinglong No. 8 Middle School is the number one public middle school in Jincheng New District, located in the center of the bustling new district.
There is a lot of traffic on the wide road. However, what is more eye-catching are the sidewalks on both sides of the road that are wider than the road.
Looking around, you can see beasts of different shapes and races walking side by side with people, weaving the unique scenery of this reinforced concrete city.
He remembered that there were larger beasts, but those that were too large were not allowed to be summoned in public places and could only be summoned in specific areas.
Chen Xing walked for about thirty minutes and finally returned home.
Opening the door, a strong smell of Chinese medicine hits your nostrils.
On the sofa, his father Chen Guohai was coughing. His physical condition has been deteriorating since he was diagnosed with black pulp disease six years ago. Although the family had spent everything and even sold their big house in the city, the high cost of treatment was still like an insurmountable mountain.
Chen Xing knew in his heart that if he wanted to cure his father's disease, he would need to hire a transcendent healing beast master. However, the cost would be at least 100 million, which was undoubtedly an astronomical figure for their family. Although the evolved healing beast control system can alleviate his father's illness, each treatment is expensive. Over the years, my mother worked two jobs a day to raise medical expenses and worked hard to support the family.
100 million, Chen Xing, who was standing behind his mother at the time, remembered this number.
Chen Xing walked to his father, picked up an orange, broke it open, and handed half of it to his father.
Chen Guohai took the orange, smiled, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. He told Chen Xing softly that his mother would prepare the meal soon and he would eat later.
Chen Xing nodded, but his eyes fell on his father again unconsciously.
He thought of the dream he had in the afternoon, and he couldn't help but feel an indescribable emotion in his heart.
"Yeah." Chen Xing nodded, because the dream he had this afternoon was too real, and he couldn't help but take another look at his gentle and peaceful father sitting on the sofa.
He turned and walked towards the second bedroom, which was his sister Chen Lingya's room.
Chen Lingya has been a top student since she was a child. She is always among the best and is the best in everyone's eyes.
Chen Xing knocked on the door gently, and after getting her sister's permission, she pushed the door open and entered.
“Come in.” My sister’s voice came from the room.
After turning the door handle, Chen Xing walked into the room and saw that the desk was piled high with books. Chen Lingya was sitting at the table writing furiously. Looking from the side, Qiong's nose was straight, her eyelids were drooped, and her lips were slightly pursed. Chen Xing glanced at the exercises on the table, which looked like a cultural class for the third year of high school.
Chen Xing's eyes inadvertently fell on the snow-white big cat lying next to the desk - it was his sister's beast-controlling jade.
He noticed that a piece of hair on Chiyu's neck had been shaved off, revealing a wound covered with gauze. Chikuyu opened his eyes and glanced at him, then closed them and continued to lie still.
Chen Xing gently stroked Chiyu's mane and felt a burst of love in his heart.
“Chiyu is injured again.” Chen Xing said softly. Although Chitama is his sister's beast master, he also watched him grow up. Ever since his sister went to a private high school, Chitama has had wounds on his body from time to time. I remember one time when he gave Chitama a bath, when he brushed aside its soft and loose hair. , I found that the scars on my skin were densely packed like paintings.
Chen Lingya paused her hand movements and let out a hum. The rustling sound of writing continued to echo on the tip of the pen. A gust of cool breeze blew from the unclosed window and lifted Chen Lingya's long hair around her ears.
The new wound a few centimeters long behind the pink cheek is particularly obvious.
Chen Xing, who got up, happened to notice this scene and stared at the wounds on her sister's face, feeling a fire rising in her heart, "Are they bullying you at school again?"
Chen Lingya clenched the pen in her hand, stood up and closed the window, turned her head to look at Chen Xing, her eyes curled into crescents, "It's okay, I can solve it."
“You say that every time.”
“Don’t worry, I can really solve it this time, and no one will bother me again in the future.” Chen Lingya said lightly.
Chen Xing looked at her sister's eyes, and the anger in her heart gradually subsided. He knew that his sister had always been strong and independent and didn't want to let him worry.
“It would be nice if I were older than you.”
Chen Xing's voice was a little low. He knew that his sister didn't want to say more and didn't ask for more details. He just squatted down and stretched his hands to the sides of Chiyu's cheeks. The soft and fluffy hair overflowed from the gaps between his fingers and rubbed his big head.
He casually took out a piece of dried meat that was as hard as wood from the drawer next to him and handed it to Chiyu. Chiyu had no appetite at first, so he opened his mouth to bite the meat, and rolled his tongue to swallow all the remaining meat. Enter the stomach.
Hearing Chen Xing's words, Chen Lingya's eyes flashed with excitement. She looked at her brother's back and took out a black box from the drawer. "Take this."
Chen Xing turned around and looked at the box in her sister's hand with some confusion: "What is this?"
“General nutritional reagent, good for you to control animals.”
Chen Xing refused directly, "Keep what your school gives you for your own use."
He knew the conditions at home. It was impossible for his sister to have the money to buy this. She could only save it from her own scholarship.
But if his sister wants to continue to receive scholarships in school, she also has academic requirements. Although he has never been to a private high school, he has heard that the students there are basically either rich or expensive, and they do not use the free animal control issued by the state. There is no shortage of things like nutritional medicines, and my sister is already under a lot of pressure there.
Chen Lingya wanted to say something else, but Chen Xing waved his hand and walked out of the room.
It’s enough that he can’t help his sister when she’s being bullied, let alone be a hindrance.
After coming out of her sister's room, Chen Xing returned to her small room.
He just felt a change in the stone slab, as if something caused it to react.
Laying on the bed with the curtains closed, the stone slab that only he could see emerged.
Under his gaze, a line of text appeared on the slate cover page: Feeding the beast once, the intimacy value is higher than 80, and the skill point fragment*1 is obtained.
There is a gem-like symbol in the upper right corner of the page. Next to the gem symbol is a broken gem. The gem is followed by 0, and the broken gem is followed by 1.
I just don’t know how many skill point fragments can be combined into a complete skill point. There is a gray “+” sign behind the gem symbol representing the skill point. It is now gray. It seems that the skill point fragments are not enough to make a complete skill point. .
